Numerical Keypad comma vs. decimal point

0

When I try to use the numpad (numerical keypad) and hit the decimal point key Wireshark gives me a comma instead of a dot. While I agree that, that is the default for my country, it isn't how I have Windows setup. Excel and the built in Windows 7 calculator both re-act "correctly" and use a dot instead of a comma when I use the "." key on the numpad, but Wireshark seems to be getting its cue from someplace else, and it is using a comma.

Does anyone have any idea concerning how I might change this, so that I can type IP addresses using just my numpad?

Thanks

After googling a bit, I believe that is a "known problem" of GTK (Other tools seem to have similar problems). Please file a bug report at https://bugs.wireshark.org

After thinking about it some more today--and poking around inside Windows--this is pretty much the conclusion I had arrived at as well, but I am new to Wireshark and wanted some confirmation from the community before I filed a bug report. I will do so now.

Thank you for your time and assistance. :)
